Making a mobile phone more grippable
Mods - Feel free to move to Jetblast but I post here as it is vaguely tech related.
My mobile telephone is a HTC One X. A truly fantastic device, but a slippery buggah that has now been dropped (thankfully each time on carpet) countless times. The sheer width that is part of what makes the screen such a joy to use is part of the problem, and the rest is the ultra slim case and shiny surface giving nothing to purchase against beyond simply squeezing tighter.
I have "solved" the problem for now with a two quid grippy rubber case from South American River, but it is a nuisance having to remove the case each time I want to clip the 'phone in to its car mount and the case means the phone doesn't just slide nicely in to a suit pocket; it fights the fabric every millimetre of the way - in and out!
What I'd really like is some sticky tape or small sticky pads with rough texture to increase friction; I can then junk the case and use the 'phone "naked" but with less chance of dropping it.
Suggestions? My searches have thus far not found anything suitable - which I find hard to believe!
Cheers.
